US has been warning its allies to
stay away from Huawei and its technological equipment for the past few years
now, US rift with China and particularly Huawei has been promoted across the
North America and Europe. The United States of America has started propaganda
to ban
Huawei last year.

Despite the US warnings about
espionage the Chinese company might be doing on behalf of Chinese government,
the UK security chiefs have shown a green signal to Huawei saying that its
superfast 5G-technology could be contained, Guardian
reported.

The US has been continuously
pressurizing the UK for not using Huawei technology for critical infrastructure
development convincing the allies that it could be quite risky. However, Huawei
has made clear that the company is owned by public and not the Chinese
government, it also offered to open a new cyber
security center as well as invited foreign
authorities to visit its lab in order to investigate any possible espionage
that the foreign authorities have concerns about.

US, Australia and New Zealand have
already taken steps to block Huawei from entering into their 5G infrastructure
market but the UK seems to be more lenient towards Huawei as the National Cyber
Security Centre which is a wing of GCHQ, will advise that the security risk by
the Chinese government should be manageable.

Financial
Times reported earlier that the authorities are likely to advise that the
risks can be minimized.

The advice if it unfolds the same
way suggests that UK is likely to withdraw from the position of banning Huawei
from supplying 5G technology equipment, while speaking to a security conference
in Munich last week, MI6 Chief, Sir Alex Younger said the complete ban might
not be necessary however, the issue has a catch he suggested.

The technical advised is provided
by NCSC but the decision is in the hands of the government, the government is
likely to conduct review of the telecom infrastructure which is due to release
in spring.

According to NCSC spokesperson, “The
National Cyber Security Centre is committed to the security of UK networks, and
we have a unique oversight and understanding of Huawei engineering and
cyber-security.

“As was made clear in July’s Huawei Cyber
Security Evaluation Centre (HCSEC) oversight board, the NCSC has concerns
around Huawei’s engineering and security capabilities. We have set out the
improvements we expect the company to make.“The authorities will
publish the Annual HCSEC report in near future.”
